so on thursday i found an ad in the paper for twin china beds for sale, with dresser n chests, so i asked will to call and ask what twin china beds were. the lil boys need beds and all the kids need dressers.

will called and spoke to the lady, her name is Gracie. for 2 days they talked trying to find a right time for her to show us the furniture.
finally today, saturday, we got to go see it. we took the kids with us, and they are just a wonderful couple. she is an adorable older lady, and her husband is just as nice.

the furniture, she said, she had for 64 years, and before that, it was her mothers. it was brought from china, and she needs to let it go, because her and her husband need to let go of things because they cant care for many things anymore.

she said the furniture is a little over 100 years old!!!!!!! i am soo amazed by that, yes it has wear and tear, a little as expected with paint and age, but i am absolutely just soo happy and happier, lol that i have real furniture that is 100 years old, and from China.
to me that is so amazing, knowing that my grandmother is chinese and she left china when she was a lil girl, and just to know that i have something that dates back to being a chinese antique to me is special.

its 2 twin beds, a night stand, a dresser and a bigger dresser, all in typical chinese art style, the black paint and gold colored scrolls, but what i am so happy about is a lot of the art all over all of the furniture, is raised, like 3D.

i have no camera, it broke on christmas morning, and my phone is temp. suspended, so i cant even take pics with my phone 🙁
as soon as i can, i will post pictures, we just have to find a way to fix one of the boards that got broken, but we will work on that tomorrow.

Hi!
Welcome to our little world!
My name is Lily, I am a Mommy to 6 kids; and wife to a US Navy Sailor of 15 years. We are a typical Family trying to live the American dream, and though my son’s Autism and my Husband’s PTSD and TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) sometimes try to dampen our mood; we try our hardest to push through it and keep on movin’!

I absolutely LOVE blogging, sharing our life, and our adventures; whether good or not so good.

Our Family went through what WE hope is the worst week ever a year and a half ago, and tragedies continued to hit our Family for a while.
In 4 days, our car was totaled, our house broken into, and our house caught on fire. We are literally having to start over from scratch.
